tangara's lua repl now has access to all the same modules as the lua ui code!

it's a weird vibe that 2023 was the year i became very proficient in C++ (and to a lesser extent C).

you hear a lot about the shiny new languages and the cool features they have and problems they solve. i think it's easy to forget that, with the way C/C++ are constantly improving, the gap between them and languages like Rust is not really as big as i feel it's made out to be.

something’s cooking!!

i made a very quick little "here is where tangara is at!" video to show crowd supply but i think other people might like to see too!

no centralised social network could ever produce "the taliban deleted my account". that's a mastodon special.

layout so nasty it’s curing my imposter syndrome

pleased to announce that tangara's design has survived yet another round of "jacqueline sees a cool SoC and questions everything"

they should invent an electronics forum that isn’t eevblog

so if it's a single board computer, how come you have so many of them?

proof of concept works... today i am going to write the most unhinged code of my career to date

(im porting just the LC_COLLATE parts of glibc's locale support to the esp32; the esp32's mmu has just enough free pages to do the mmap-ing required)

in the c programming language, is it ‘acceptable’ to create a macro which includes a return statement

actually, why am i being cagey about tangara's price? it's pretty much set at this point. i guess i'm just a bit self conscious bc it's more than i would prefer, but i think it's important to have a bit of buffer so that unexpected manufacturing costs aren't ruinous.

it is also still cheaper than most of the classic ipods were at launch, which i think is a good sign.

people who don’t actually write c always have the strangest ideas about ‘undefined behaviour’ ime

i made a forum to talk about tangara and whatever else u want: https://forum.cooltech.zone/

i will plug it to tangara backers later, but for now consider this an ✨exclusive✨ soft launch for fedi lovers

hey electronics heads. anyone got any tiny little project recs that use bga components? seems like a good soldering skill to pick up, but i've no head what to put together to learn!

every time i need to do something with my 3d printer's software stack i lose my goddamn mind.

why is your only officially support platform a literal raspberry pi? why the fuck are you still using jinja of all things? why do i need an npm package with fifty billion dependencies to talk to a microcontroller???

shout out to the rockbox forum “we should make an open source player!” thread for a true roller coaster of reading.

22 pages or whatever, 10ish years, and every single idea in there sounded good enough to make me panic, but then it turned out to not really be viable

rust could be the best thing ever done with a computer for all i know. i just find it hard to get excited about things with institutional backing from such glamorous organisations as ‘palantir’ and ‘the united states’

next year i will develop a cd player. then a tape player. you can't stop me. nobody can.

achievement unlocked: ordered enough of something from mouser that they just sent me the manufacturer's package
